Help! I’ve been accepted into the business programs at UMass Amherst and UW and IDK what school to go to. Both have great business schools but I just don’t know where to go. Money isn’t an issue for either of them btw. Thanks!
Congrats! I don’t know much about UW’s business school but assuming UW and UMass are on par, I’d consider how far from home you want to venture (assuming you’re in Seattle), and where you want to be after graduation. You have literally coastal opposite choices, in other words. So if you returned home to the PNW after UMass, your resume would stand out but it would not have the same brand recognition and your alumni network would be sparse. If you know you want to come and live east for years after graduation, then UMass would make an easier entry point.
And then obvious factors: city vs town/gown setting, weather, UW has higher profile athletic teams (except for hockey).
Have you visited both?
